However, in the case of a BAK file, that is not always the case. If you are having a problem with a file, in most cases, manually changing the file extension will not solve it because different types of files are set up differently and have different functions.
This is typically done so, in case the current file becomes corrupt, the previous file is still available and all the information can be recovered. Then it saves the original file in the original location. In these scenarios, the program first creates a backup file that contains the information from the old file and saves it with the BAK extension. This typically happens automatically when you (or the program) are saving the file or when you are exiting the program. Many different types of programs protect data by creating a BAK file.
In general terms, the BAK file extension is simply a backup file.
